“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A conventional question for your Montreal
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Recent research confirms the
system and its goals in which Montreal chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Montreal chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was done in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
utilized chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic
for back and neck pain treatment. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is expanding as additional
people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
take a few visits to get relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A recent study found
that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain
patients’ function improved and back and neck pain reduced with
chiropractic care in 90 days. Those who reported
worse pain initially had more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers who went to the chiropractor more
than once a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were getting
better slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic: educate our Montreal back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 29
days and 12 visits were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a bit
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Montreal chronic neck and back
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to want a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they understand
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has always shared
the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have sought care from a variety of different providers that they “get” it. The 50% Rule
of Cox® Technic makes sense to them: 50% relief in 30 days or referral for
imaging or other consultation, 50% relief decreases the visit
frequency by 50%, 50% relief changes the treatment from Protocol I to Protocol
II, etc. The chiropractic care system of Cox® Technic follows an established algorithm
that provides patients realistic expectations.
